Title
The Heflingers and the Lamoures : A Microcosm of United States Social History from the 1850's through the 1950's
Description
From Huggins: "This thesis traces the history of two immigrant families from the mid-1800's through the mid-1900's. The social and economic factors of Germany and French Québec are studied to determine reasons for the movement of people from these countries to the United States during the 1800's. Family histories are used to follow the author's ancestors from their arrival through the following one hundred years....The narrative style is used to record family stories and reactions to historical events. The major contribution of this thesis is its furthering of the understanding of the impact of these two immigrant groups on America. Also the assimilation of Germans and French Canadians into American society is demonstrated."
